From Brighton Bandstand to Woodland “I Dos” with Real Bride Chloe

A wonderfully vibrant real wedding filled with personal touches

We love a woodland ceremony. There's something so romantic about saying your vows surrounded by nature and the soft sounds of the swaying trees. It feels intimate, magical, like the whole world has paused a while just for the two of you. Add in a few bursts of colour, and a whimsically styled wedding dress, and you've got a setting straight out of a modern fairy tale.

Jon and Chloe's big day really celebrated the romance of the woodland with a rustic ceremony and a barn celebration. Her bold floral dress took centre stage against the natural backdrop, while bright tones, personal touches, and a heartfelt ring-warming ceremony made the celebration truly unique.

The Vibrant Outdoor Real Wedding of Chloe & Jon

Surrounded by family, friends, and their little one, Jon and his bride curated a wedding that was as vibrant and memorable as their love story.

How did you two meet?

We met online - standard Plenty of Fish!

How did you get engaged?

Jon proposed to me at the bandstand in Brighton. Brighton is our place to escape to.

What was your favourite moment(s) from the wedding?

Seeing Jon and our little one, Charlie at the ceremony. Our family and friends taking part in a ring warming ceremony – it meant so much.

Tell us all about your wedding dress. What details do you love, and how did it make you feel?

The dress (Petal from Mori Lee) was something different. I'd always wanted something unique and floral, and the veil made it stand out even more. It was a dramatic and I knew it would stand out during our outdoor ceremony against the woodland. It was comfortable, light, and I felt amazing in it.

What was the general decor for your big day?

Outside, woodland, barn, bright colours, being with nature.

How was your Bellissima experience?

Amazing from start to finish. I loved being able to pre-select some wedding dresses before the appointment. From the first appointment to the last, it was flawless and took away so much stress and worry. Great communication, friendly staff!
